@TRPresLibrary From a writer ya'll may know 😉

@TRPresLibrary A fascinating, recent book about this topic! nytimes.com/2024/05/29/boo…

Behind Theodore Roosevelt's extraordinary public life was a partnership that doesn't always make the history books — but absolutely should. Edith Kermit Roosevelt was TR's wife, closest confidante, and in many ways the architect of the modern White House. She managed a household of six rambunctious children, presided over the social demands of the presidency with unfailing grace, and served as one of her husband's most trusted advisors on matters of politics and personnel. Where Theodore was volcanic and impulsive, Edith was steady and precise. She understood him completely — his gifts and his blind spots — and she had no hesitation about telling him when he was wrong. Roosevelt, for all his combativeness in public life, trusted her judgment more than almost anyone else's. It was Edith who oversaw the renovation of the White House in 1902, creating the West Wing and transforming the building from an overcrowded family residence into a functioning presidential mansion. It was Edith who managed the family finances that TR — brilliant but financially careless — often neglected. And it was Edith who kept Sagamore Hill as a home worth coming back to, through decades of public life, war, loss, and eventually grief. Roosevelt once wrote: "I should never have risen but for you." He meant it. #OTD #OnThisDay #TheodoreRoosevelt #TeddyRoosevelt #EdithRoosevelt #SagamoreHill #RooseveltFamily #WomensHistory #AmericanHistory

@MacWBishop @mikenelson586 And then wound up defending a bridge?

@mikenelson586 "You guys remember 'Saving Private Ryan,' about a team of American soldiers sent deep behind enemy lines to capture Private Ryan?"

I have said that bridges can be legit targets if they have dual use/ Iranian military applicability, and history is rife with examples where destroying bridges was essential But John seems to be confused about what we did at Remagen which was to capture Ledendorff Bridge INTACT

@giglio_OG @belltowerburner It's a Cracker Barrel with steaks and bourbon.

@belltowerburner Do go for my birthday. Honestly, you can’t go wrong with whatever your favorite cut is. It’s more about the whole experience and service than just the meal

Aight what do I get at Angus Barn? @giglio_OG I know you prob go all the time

Wow it’s wonderful to see school leadership show support for school staff who have been working without sufficient classroom resources for paltry pay for far too long. Our state is 50th in education funding effort & we spend almost $6k less per student than the national average.

@SonsofJohnnieLe Compared to Osaka… better?

Think we need to be honest about what we are seeing here. The Iranian government is still the same theocratic dictatorship and the Iranian people are in desperate straits after the US promised them liberation. The Iranians still control the Strait of Hormuz, still maintain their right to collect tolls, still have their nuclear program, and have Trump promising to return them $20 billion in frozen assets. The markets also have concluded that this is the end, Trump has thrown in the towel. A massive strategic failure by the USA.

@tomricks1 @nut_history Rover!

@nut_history "short right" a little league position i enjoyed

If you played baseball, or you still play, what’s your preferred defensive position to play?

@finleyt If you accept late work 🙃

Let us reject the logic of violence and war, and embrace peace founded on love and justice—an unarmed peace, not based on fear, threats or weapons. This peace is disarming, because it is capable of resolving conflicts, opening hearts, and generating trust, empathy, and hope. I strongly reiterate: The world thirsts for #Peace! Enough of war and all the pain it causes through death, destruction, and exile! #ApostolicJourney #Cameroon

@franklinleonard In his excellent book, Waging a Good War: A Military History of the Civil Rights Movement, @tomricks1 detailed how the movement extensively trained activists. us.macmillan.com/books/97803746…

This is actually one of my favorite photos from the era. A stark reminder that resistance is strategic, planned, and disciplined.

Contents of Abraham Lincoln’s pockets at moment of his assassination, tonight 1865, Ford’s Theatre—hidden from public for 111 years. Can you identify these artifacts? What are they?

@BeschlossDC ‘Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV.’

@nckhui @RebeccaNoel98 No words... I recall working with a small district in PA around 2015... 2 ES, 1 MS, and 1 small HS. Maybe 5K students total. Superintendent made $400,000.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools has 22 executives making over $200K. Wake County has 3: the superintendent, chief business officer & chief of facilities and operations. Wake is larger than CMS. (Via @RebeccaNoel98 & Caitlin McGlade) newsobserver.com/news/local/edu… #ncpol #nced #wcpss

Honestly it’s a great show but don’t remember the great Noah Wyle dressed like that.
